The new Component Creator 2.0

We have been working for months now on a new Component Creator version with lots of new things: a new design, an improved interface and, most importantly: new features!

The reason the development of new features has been temporarily frozen is that some of them needed changes in our interface. There were some other features that required to remove some legacy code so we had to work in a whole new version. The list of the new features is as follows:

As you know, the 1.7 release was launched at the end of 2016 and we’ve had an incredible response from the community.

Today we’re very happy to announce the release of 1.7.1. This important version of PrestaShop includes a number of enhancements and fixes including:

• Improvements to the mobile navigation
• An ‘upgrade all’ feature on modules
• New hooks added
• Improvements for translators
• New native modules, including one for PayPal
• Enhancements to the starter theme
• 1-click upgrade from 1.6 to 1.7.1 (beta)

In addition to this, we’ve improved the overall performance of 1.7.1, and the release is now available in 7 languages, with more on the way.

For those of you who are interested in upgrading from 1.6 to 1.7, please know that we’re working on an automatic upgrade for you as well. Stay tuned for announcements.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the 69 contributors from around the world who made the 1.7.1 our best version ever. We couldn’t do all of this without you!
